NOTICE:

  Be sure the installer tests each alarm in your presence and instructs you on the operation 

               and maintenance of the device. 
 
 

NOTICE: 

 Properly functioning smoke alarms give earlier warning than Heat Alarms in nearly all 

residential fires.  This is because detectable levels of smoke almost always develop 
before detectable levels of heat. 

 
 

The MasterGuard QR-50 Heat Alarm has been tested and listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc 

[Listing No. S2117]
